Detects whether magnet is within ½” of the main case:
Closed state when magnet is within ½
Opened state when magnet is further than ½
Set Button
Links other Insteon devices (responders)
Controls linked responders (scene 1): Tap to toggle between on and off
External Sensor Terminals
When using an external sensor, Open/Close Sensor is in closed state when
either external sensor terminals or reed switch are closed. In other words,
Open/Close Sensor opens when both external sensor terminals and reed
switch are open. See Advanced External Sensor Use for more information.
Status LED
Indicates:
Change in state (open or close)
Linking/unlinking mode (blinks)
Arrows
Arrows indicate reed switch location inside main case, so magnet should be
installed as close as to them as possible.
Magnet
Included magnet is installed on opposing plane than Open/Close Sensor main
case. It should be less than ½away from the main case when door/window,
etc. is closed and further than ½” when open.
Installation
Install Open/Close Sensor
1) Remove sensor (larger device) cover by prying up at “open”
2) Install included AA battery (don’t replace cover yet)
3) Peel backing off double-stick tape on back of sensor
4) Mount sensor:
If installing on door, with white set button between door edge and battery, gently press sensor to door frame
approximately 3” from top of door (such that door slightly clears it when closing)
If installing on window, with set button between window and battery, gently press to window frame (such that
window will slightly clears it when closing)
5) Press and hold sensor set button for 5 seconds until LED begins blinking
6) For US installations, press and hold nearest Range Extender (previously called Access Point) set button until it
beeps
a) If sensor LED continues blinking, sensor is not within range, move Range Extender to a closer outlet and
return to step 5
7) Peel backing off double-stick tape on back of magnet case
8) Mount magnet:
If installing on door, mount magnet as near door edge as possible (within ½” of sensor horizontally) and with
one end of magnet aligned with set button and other end of magnet aligned with far end of sensor, gently
press on door
If installing on window:
a) Open window and carefully replace sensor cover (open label on same side as battery)
b) Close window
c) Gently apply magnet to window as close to sensor as possible
d) Open window and carefully remove sensor cover
9) Test by opening and closing door or window
Sensor LED will blink once each time opened or closed
Otherwise, move sensor and magnet closer together when closed and test again
(Antenna not
shown for clarity)

Connecting an External Sensor to Open/Close Sensor
NOTE: For basic use of Open/Close Sensor’s external sensor terminals, it is not recommended to also use
Open/Close Sensor’s internal reed switch to help ensure desired behavior. If connecting multiple sensors to
Open/Close Sensor’s external sensor terminals and/or using Open/Close Sensor’s reed switch in addition to an
external sensor, see Advanced External Sensor Use.
1) Use a small screwdriver to remove Open/Close Sensor main case cover
2) Strip sensor wire about ¼
3) Unscrew external sensor terminals, connect sensor wire, and screw in terminals
4) Test by opening and closing sensor
Open/Close Sensor status LED will blink once when sensor opens or closes
5) If you haven’t already done so, link desired responders before replacing cover. See Make Open/Close Sensor a
Controller.
6) Replace Open/Close Sensor main case cover
Insteon Setup
Insteon Controllers, Responders and Links
Let’s define a few terms.
The Insteon “transmitter” is called a controller
The Insteon “receiver” is called a responder
Note: Some devices are controllers only (e.g., open/close and motion sensors, handheld remotes), some are
responders only (e.g., FanLinc), and some can be controllers and responders (e.g., switches and dimmers).
The association between the controller and responder is called a link
Note that a link is one way. If you want control the other way (making the responder a controller), and the devices are
capable of it, simply add a link “the other way.”
Default Mode
In default mode, Open/Close Sensor will:
Turn on responders when it opens
Turn off responders when it closes
This mode is ideal for garage doors, closets, sheds, etc.
Make Open/Close Sensor a Controller
Use Open/Close Sensor to control other Insteon devices:
1) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will start blinking green
2) Turn responder on (or any other state such as on 50% or even off)
3) Press and hold responder set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will turn solid green
4) Test by opening and closing magnet/sensor
Responder load will respond appropriately
Notes:

Make Open/Close Sensor a Controller of Multiple Responders
1) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button for 3 seconds
LED will start blinking green
2) Tap Open/Close Sensor set button
LED will start double-blinking green
3) For each responder you are adding:
a. Adjust responder to desired scene brightness/state
b. Press and hold set button for 3 seconds
4) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button for 3 seconds
LED will stop blinking
5) Test by opening and closing magnet/sensor
All responder loads will respond appropriately
Remove Open/Close Sensor as a Controller
If you no longer want Open/Close Sensor to control another device (or are removing Open/Close Sensor) it is
important that you follow the instructions below for each responder.
1) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will start blinking green
2) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button again for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will continue blinking green
3) Press and hold responder set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will stop blinking and turn solid
4) Test by opening and closing magnet/sensor
Former responder will not respond
Open/Close Sensor status LED will continue blinking
Scenes
Devices in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting, audio, etc scene creation.
Software is recommended for scene management.
Insteon scenes are very easy to set up just link more than one responder to the same controller. Then, all Insteon
devices linked in the scene will respond as a group.
Advanced Features
Advanced External Sensor Use
For advanced users, a single Open/Close Sensor can be used to:
Monitor several doors/windows
Monitor several different types of sensors
Monitor external sensors in addition to its internal reed switch
Using Several Sensors
When several sensors (even of different types) are connected to Open/Close Sensor external sensor terminals, keep
in mind that Open/Close Sensor only has two states: opened and closed. So if you have several sensors connected
in the following configurations, note Open/Close Sensor behavior (it is assumed in this example Open/Close Sensor
internal reed switch is not being used).
Several sensors connected in series Open/Close Sensor will show open if any sensors are open and
closed when all sensors are closed
Several sensors connected in parallel Open/Close Sensor will show open when all sensors are open and
closed if any sensors are closed
NOTE: If magnetic door/window contacts are used, there are two types:
Normally open when door/window is closed, sensor will show open. When door/window is open, sensor will
show closed
Normally closed when door/window is closed, sensor will show closed. When door/window is open, sensor
will show open
Page 6 of 8 2843-222/2843-422/2843-522 - Rev: 1/26/2016 12:16:04 PM
Using Internal Reed Switch and External Sensors
When Open/Close Sensor external sensors input is used in conjunction with its internal reed switch, Open/Close
Sensor behaves much like several sensors connected in parallel (above), meaning:
Open/Close Sensor will be open when both internal reed switch and external reed switch sensor terminals
show open
Open/Close Sensor will be closed when either internal reed switch or external sensor terminals show closed
Power Restore
Open/Close Sensor stores all of its settings, such as links to other Insteon devices, with non-volatile memory.
Because settings are saved in non-volatile memory, they will not be lost when the battery is removed.
Factory Reset
All settings and scenes will be erased and return to factory default settings.
1) If you are using Open/Close Sensor to control any responders, unlink them from Open/Close Sensor. See
Remove Open/Close Sensor as a Controller.
2) Use a small screwdriver to gently remove Open/Close Sensor main case
3) Remove battery and wait at least 15 seconds
4) Press and hold set button on Open/Close Sensor while reinstalling battery
5) Release set button when the status LED turns on
Open/Close Sensor status LED will stay on for about 4 seconds and then turn off
